While some of the biggest and monumental moments in MMA came from the hands, feet, grit, heart and determination of women, Stephen A. Smith admits that it’s not his cup of tea.
The longtime ESPN broadcaster hasn’t exactly been in the good graces on mixed martial arts enthusiasts over the years, most notably in regards to stating he was “disgusted” with Donald Cerrone’s UFC 246 performance against Conor McGregor in January 2020 where he was finished in just 40 seconds.
Earlier this week, Smith spoke with Larry Wilmore on the Black on the Air podcast and was asked about the changing of the guard in the executive offices, and on the court and fields around the sports world, seeing more women being hired into those positions.
